LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Even when the NCAA process is over for the University of Louisville, school officials will have one more obligation.

On Tuesday, when a reporter asked Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino about his experience in the school’s 11-hour hearing in front of the NCAA’s committee on infractions on April 20 – the first time Pitino has ever appeared before that body – he didn’t want to talk about it.

“It was one of the most difficult days, and I don’t even want to relive any of it,” Pitino said. “So I’d rather not answer the question. And I don’t mean that it went bad, it just was excruciating, long, tedious.”

In fact, Pitino is prevented from discussing what was talked about that day by NCAA rule.

But Louisville officials, and perhaps Pitino, will have to hold at least one more discussion on the process, after it is complete, beyond discussing the final sanctions with the media and public.

The Atlantic Coast Conference will hold a review, after the infractions process has run its course.

ACC commissioner John Swofford said that the conference will not add to any NCAA sanctions – a practice that the ACC and other leagues once had. But he said that the league will ask U of L to sit down with officials from other conference schools to talk about its dealings with the NCAA.

“Any time one of our schools has any degree of NCAA problem, once it’s over with, the school involved, their representatives sit down with their colleagues at the other institutions, and they share what went on, and what they learned from the process, and what might prohibit it from happening again,” Swofford said. “So it’s, you know, a best practices sort of arrangement, where the other schools learn from what happened at a particular school, whether it’s Louisville or another school in the conference. And that’s intended to be very positive. You can always find a positive in just about any negative. Sometimes it’s hard to do.”

Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said after the hearing on April 20 that he expected to hear an NCAA decision on possible further sanctions in around 6-8 weeks. There is no firm timetable for committee on infractions decisions. Tomorrow will mark the five-week mark since that hearing.

Among the possible options for the NCAA are further scholarship sanctions – though Louisville will enter this season with only 10 scholarship players – vacation of victories, including the 2013 NCAA championship and 2012 Final Four, or some type of suspension for Pitino.

Asked if he’d spoken to his team about possible future sanctions, Pitino said, “I don’t think anything’s going to happen for the future.”
